How did people react to Freddy Mercury?

   So I was driving around in the Schwan's truck and a Queen song came on. I'm jammin out and started thinking about Freddy and the severe homophobia of the previous decades. When Freddy came out, did you know any heterosexual males who used to like Queen but then didn't? I ask because I wasn't around.

	I still remember the hey day of Queen, and from the onset it was pretty obvious Freddie was 'different'. My favorite album back in the day was 'Night at the Opera' and I liked '39' far more than Bohemian Rhapsody. When you look back the majority really did not care on the sexuality issues so focused on today. Oh so he/she is...was the standard response. The 80's and 90's on the heels of the 'sexual revolution' of the late 60's early 70's was a total ho-hum for those of us who lived it.
